death metal

I really like death metal, if it's done right. I don't get into the plethora of gore bands out there - as I find much of that stuff to be quite generic in sound. But I do like a good dose of a band that knows how to play their stuff.

My favorites are INPO:

Death (early stuff was DM)
Obituary
Pestilence
Nile
Mortification (early stuff was DM)
Behemoth
Morbid Angel


How about you?

Death, Pestilence, Moritification, Ethereal Scourge, Carcass, Soul Embraced, mid-Living Sacrifice, Amorphis, early Sentenced, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Becoming The Archetype, Paramacium, Metonia, Bolt Thrower, old Soilwork, Daath (a new band), Opeth (althoug a death/progressive hybrid), doom/death (i.e. old Paradise Lost, Anathema, early goth metal bands), and Obituary.

Back in the day I used to listen to just about any death band (Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Opressor, Suffocation, etc.) but I soon grew tired of the blood, gore, and satanic aspects even before I became a Christian. So these days I listen to death bands with either Christian or neutral lyrics.

Oh, even though I don't like the plethora of cussing I do like me some Strapping Young Lad.

Oh good calls on:

Arch Enemy
Ethereal Scourge
and
Opeth!

I like all those bands quite well!

Another two I'll add:

Dark Tranquility
Nightrage

I like the melodic death stuff pretty much too.

Early Sepultura and early Morbid Angel are about as 'death metal' as I get.

Early Entombed (Left Hand Path & Clandestine are masterpieces)
Morbid Angel
Deicide
Obituary
Akercocke

Love them!

Living Sacrifice is probably my most consistant favorite.

Becoming The Archetype, I'm really liking alot right now.

Sacrificium is just SSSSSIIIIIIIIICK! To bad they don't exist!

Early Mort.

later VR.

I just realized (due to the stupid band name and my grammatical over site) how wrong that might sound. Good thing Townsend didn't put an 's' at the end the name

Mortification

Paramaecium

Ethereal Scourge

Metanoia

Amorphis


4 out of 5 from Australia!

hey, what's up with Paramaecium? Who are they?

Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes is still one of my favorites. Great album.

My favorite Metanoia album is their first album "In Darkness or In Light". I like the combination of classic metal and death metal that disappeared on future releases.

Death still rank as one of my favorite Death Metal bands.

Mortification's "Scrolls of the Megilloth" is a another of my favorites.

Carcass, Gorefest, Crimson Thorn...

I rarely listen to much death metal any more though. I grew bored with it. The vocalists and songs all just started sounding the same to me.

Oh wait, I remember
now, Ult recommended Place of Skulls over Paramaecium a couple weeks
ago, so I kind of forgot about them. They have like operitic female
vocals, right? But are they real heavy(i like the heavier music) and
death too, or just the opera vocals?

The mix female operatic vocals and deep, death metal growls. It depends which album you get though. "Ancient Forest" and "Exhumed of the Earth" are albums that combine the symphonic stuff with doom and death metal. The "Repentance" EP is just straight up death metal. "Echoes from the Ground" is a stunning, more traditional, doom metal album.

Thank you brother! Your alright you know? I don't care what EVERYBODY (specrefate, blackieboy, scottmitchell74, Thrasher 73, mc666) says about you. Really, your all stars in my book bro!
